Descriptive paragraph:
This photo shows a city at night, I can see a long avenue or street with much traffic. This city has very cars, and very people. Also I can see some buildings around the street or avenue. The photo is take it from to a edifice, to 5 or 6 floors.

Article sumary
The reading “from atelier to e-telier: virtual design studios”, is about how the new technologies applied to assisted design help to architects and urban planners and also to students in this careers. The software most commonlyused by designers, is CAD (computer aided design), but this software can only work in a computer, while using the network systems, exchange the information with others people that working on the same topic. Some people interested in this topic with the professors, professionals and other people have worked on this topic, to help improve the communications network between architects and other architects, professors with other professors and students with other students.

comparison and contrast paragraph
The contrast between CAD and BIM is basically its use. While CAD is used for processing information in the design of the building, BIM is used for generating data in the life cycle of the building. The 2 programs work in the 3-D format, but CAD also works in two dimensions. This tool makes it more useful for aided design but the BIM’s characteristics make it more useful to work after to construction.  media type="file" key="Sound clip 191.wav" width="264" height="22" align="center"
